City-country consolidation builds upon the Progressive tradition of favoring structural reform of local governments. This volume looks at some important issues confronting contemporary efforts to consolidate governments and develops a theoretical approach to understanding both the motivations for pursuing consolidation and the way the rules guiding the process shape the outcome. Individual chapters consider the push for city-county consolidation and the current context in which such decisions are debated, along with several alternatives to city-county consolidation. The transaction costs of city-county consolidation are compared against the costs of municipal annexation, inter-local agreements, and the use of special district governments to achieve the desired consolidation of services. The final chapters compare competing perspectives for and against consolidation and put together some of the pieces of an explanatory theory of local government consolidation.

Facing cutbacks in federal and state assistance and a new wave of taxpayer revolts, local governments have renewed interest in local government consolidation as a way of achieving efficiencies of scale in response to citizen demands for services. Yet the vast majority of consolidation efforts fail, either during the process of drafting a charter or once they reach the ballot - only five have passed since 1990; only thirty-two have been successfully implemented since the first, when the city of New Orleans merged with Orleans Parish in 1805. What accounts for the high failure rate and what factors led to successful consolidations? This volume presents thirteen comparable case studies of consolidation campaigns and distills the findings.

On November 7, 1972 the voters of the City of Lexington and Fayette County, Kentucky overwhelmingly approved a comprehensive consolidation plan and the merged "Urban County Government" was officially launched January 1, 1974 to become the state's first and the nation's twelfth successful consolidation of city and county governments. The purpose of the research reported in this article is to offer some plausible explanations, based on document data, newspaper sources, personal observation and interviews, to the frequently-cited question, why consolidation was an acceptable alternative. The following are some of the findings of this study. (1) The Lexington experience may be viewed as a typical city-county consolidation in that it occurred in a medium-sized Southern metropolis and it took place under threat of annexation. (2) The Lexington experience tends to confirm the view that the occurrence of a critical circumstance, in addition to usual favorable conditions, would assure the success of consolidation campaign. What is unique and not found in the previous consolidation attempts, however, is the fact that the merger campaign in Kentucky's second most populous area was initiated and carried out in the midst of the probability that Lexington, then a second class city, would be reclassified as a first class city due to a rapid population increase and the municipal classification system prescribed by the state constitution. (3) While the community environment provided a set of favorable conditions for the consolidation campaign, it seems likely that the success of the Lexington merger might have been attributed to stimuli generated by the previous consolidation experiences, notably those of the Nashville metro, the Indianapolis Unigov and Jacksonville-Duval County. In fact, these areas had been considered as "model cities" in the consolidation campaign. (4) In view of the fact that the campaign was not well-organized, limited, and low-keyed, it can be suggested that the question of how much trust voters have in consolidation campaigners is more critical than how they perceive campaign strategies or governmental change itself. The validity of this conclusion can only be verified by a comprehensive survey of voter attitudes toward the consolidation plan.

Although a frequently discussed reform, campaigns to merge a major municipality and county to form a unified government fail to win voter approval eighty per cent of the time. One cause for the low success rate may be that little systematic analysis of consolidated governments has been done. In City–County Consolidation, Suzanne Leland and Kurt Thurmaier compare nine city–county consolidations—incorporating data from 10 years before and after each consolidation—to similar cities and counties that did not consolidate. Their groundbreaking study offers valuable insight into whether consolidation meets those promises made to voters to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of these governments. The book will appeal to those with an interest in urban affairs, economic development, local government management, general public administration, and scholars of policy, political science, sociology, and geography.
